3.20 Leaving

Mathew had
finished packing his bags and in a few hours he would be gone. Snowie had gone
shopping so it gave Mathew time to think of something to say but every time he
thought about what he would say to Snowie it never sounded right.

"You
have to tell her that you are leaving." Spencer said standing by the door.

"Dad, I
can't tell her."

"Matt,
I know this is hard but you can't leave without saying anything. Doing that
would be worse. Everyone will be here later to say goodbye so tell her before
then."

He went up
in the attic for one last bash on the drums. The emotions he felt with every
stroke of stick on the drum brought him close to tears. It was thanks to Snowie
that he took up the drums and if it wasn't for her, he would properly be in a
prison somewhere doing time. He put the sticks away and made his way back to
his room. He saw Snowie enter her room. Mathew took a deep breath knocked on
the door and walked in.

Sitting on
the bed trying to get comfortable, "How was the shopping trip?"

"Oh ok.
Going with your Dad, don't worry I'll see you in a week or two." Snowie
really believed what she was saying but Matt had to put this right.

"Snowie
I'm not going with Dad and I'm not going for a few weeks. I am going for six
months maybe a year."

"You're
what?"

"Snowie
I know this is hard but I have to do this..."

Snowie was
now yelling, "No you don't, tell your Dad no. We are a couple and you
can't just up and leave. I mean what about us? Did you ever think about that?
We have a few weeks to change Spencer's mind..."

"Snowie
please, don't make this hard than it has to be. I'm leaving this afternoon. I
will miss you but I think it is best we break up, I would like us to stay
friends but..."

"You
are breaking up with me and what to stay friends, never. I wish I'd never met
you. Go on your trip be happy. I just won't be here when you get back. Now get
out of my room." She slammed the door in his face and then all he heard was
crying from the other side of the door. He wanted to go back and tell her
everything would be fine but he couldn't.

When he got
downstairs his Dad was waiting, "How did it go?"

"Dad
she hates me."

"She
doesn't hate you she just needs time. Everyone is here to see you off."
Matt went into the living room to find the family waiting.

Will was the
first to hug him and say, "I can't believe it my nephew has grown up. This
house will be to quiet now."

"I'll
miss you Uncle Will. Take care of my Aunt and little cousin for me."

"You
know I will, Matt."

Matt picked
up Art and said, "Art be good ok. See you soon."

"Uncle
Blake take care."

"Listen
less of the Uncle and remember we are only a call away." Matt turned to
Estevan and smiled. Estevan pulled him into a hug and said in a whisper,
"Anything you need call me, money you name it call me."

In a whisper
back, "Are you and Dawn ok?"

"I'm
working on it. How did Snowie take it?"

"Not
good." Estevan just gave a half smile. Matt was dreading saying goodbye to
Aunt Heather as he knew she would start crying. "Aunt Heather thanks for
everything."

Holding back
her tears; Heather said, "Matt you can always come back, just take care of
yourself but have a good time."

Matt hugged
her again and said in a whisper, "Please give this letter to Snowie for
me."

Matt hugged
Paris and his Dad. He asked Paris to look after his Dad and if they ever
decided on a date then he wanted to be there on the big day.

Leaving the house
he took one last look up the stair case in the hopes that Snowie would come
down and say goodbye but the hall was silent. He was embarking on a new stage
in his life but he had hoped that Snowie and he would remain friends but it
just didn't seem it wasn't going to work out that way.

I still hate that he has to leave. It's just WHY? pooh. I feel so bad for Snowie. Okay. I need a happy chapter next cuz I'm kinda bummed now. :P Okay well now I'm laughing at my bummed-ness so I suppose I'LL be okay. Just not Snowie. I wouldn't've brought my butt down to say bye to his leaving ass either. Just friends. He's going to regret that.

Yes Matt is leaving. He is going around the country to explore. Happy Chapter I hope so soon :)Snowie is upset but they are only teenagers but I do understand why she didn't come down the stairs. Will Matt regret it, well we will see.

~ If he does not go now he will get married & settle down with Snowie & will always wonder "what if" best he goes out into the world he will have a better idea if they were meant to be or not,she is his first girlfriend,is she the one,he will have a clearer idea on that,before they go any further into the relationship,now is the time to go!Before Babies happen!LOL!~ I can not wait to see what Matt does with his future!~ Love it!(",)

I think you are right if Matt doesn't go then he will never go. Marriage I think he is too young at the moment and being his first girlfriend I think without putting distance between them he would never know for sure.

I can't wait for his new adventures either and I hope he enjoys himself at the same time.

I think Matt decided the right thing. If he never went and stayed, he would always regret not going I believe and even become to resent Snowie over it. I do hope they can come to some understanding in the future.....edenz~
